Chapter 783 I Can't Understand What Fourth Master Is Saying

But I didn't expect that a pot of spicy shrimp would move Kangxi like this, and I don't know what the old man thought of.

Those people in the backyard were far away, so they couldn't see the changes in Kangxi.

Only Ruoyin, fourth master, and Liang Jiugong who was beside Kangxi found out.

Ruoyin turned around, looked at fourth master knowingly, and said nothing.

After Kangxi ate three crickets in slow motion, he finally raised his head, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and said, "Old Si Fujin, this pot of crickets is even more delicious than the one made by the royal chef in the palace, but it's too spicy. It's so hot that my eyes burn, but it's unforgettable..."

Suddenly, Ruoyin saw that Kangxi's eyes were stained with scarlet.

It looks like it's spicy, but it's more like a trace of being moved to tears.

After all, no one is so hot that their hands tremble and they dare not raise their heads.

"Fu Jin, my master told you a long time ago that the food tastes lighter, Huang Ama can't eat spicy food." Fourth Master said a few words to Ruoyin along the way.

Ruoyin pretended not to know anything, and quickly got up to admit his mistake, "Huang Ama, I'm to blame for this, please punish me."

Kangxi didn't speak, but waved his hand nonchalantly, motioning for Ruoyin to sit down.

Probably because I ate something spicy and wanted something light.

Kangxi's chopsticks were turned to three steamed meat and vegetables.

In the end, it landed on a pile of Biyingying green vegetables.

But the next moment, his old man's chopsticks were suspended in mid-air and did not go down for a long time.

The dragon's beard also trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but was hesitating.

Liang Jiugong, who was still at the side, said sharply, "What's the matter, why are there insects in this dish!"

As soon as these words came out, Kangxi's chopsticks had already been taken back.

Ruoyin, who had just sat down, stood up again in fear.

When she walked to Kangxi's desk, she found that there were many off-white worms on the dish of vegetables.

The number is not large, only the size of a grain of rice.

You can't see it unless you look closely, but you can understand it when you look closely.

Anyway, it's disgusting to look at.

All of a sudden, the family banquet, which was supposed to go smoothly, suddenly became uneasy.

This situation can be said to have collided with Kangxi's imperial prestige.

More seriously, all the servants in Ruoyin Academy will die.

And she, the main character, has to be punished accordingly.

Ruoyin's first instinct was that this was impossible!

Obviously she had ordered the servants to clean it up carefully.

Just in case, I asked the careful Banmei to check it again.

When she was finally cooking, she even looked through it herself.

And, if there's only one or two bugs, that's okay.

There are several beige vegetable worms densely packed, are she and the servants blind!

No, someone must be playing tricks...

Someone must be jealous when they see that fourth master trusts her and entrusts her with the family and everything.

But because of Kangxi's noble status, he dared not poison him.

In that case, not to mention that things get serious, the whole Old Summer Palace, including Fourth Master, will suffer.

That's why someone tampered with the dishes.

It seemed that she didn't respect Kangxi so that she could embarrass her.

Just when Ruoyin deduced, Niu Gulu said indifferently: "The servants of the Xinghuachun restaurant are too careless. They can't even wash the dishes, and the cooks don't take a good look at them."

Hearing this, Ruoyin tightly held the handkerchief tightly.

No, now is not the time to shirk responsibility.

Because, if she took it on, at most she would be punished and punished, and she would not lose her life.

But if she doesn't bear it, the servants around her will suffer.

Moreover, if you pursue it further, I am afraid that all the servants in her courtyard will be finished!

Anyway, the people behind the scenes are also targeting her.

Come on then!

Thinking of this, Ruoyin knelt down in front of Kangxi, and said, "Huang Ama, I watched this plate of green vegetables go into the steamer. Everything was my negligence, and my daughter-in-law is willing to accept the punishment."

Kangxi didn't speak, but stared at Ruoyin with a pair of experienced eyes, so sharp that no one dared to peek, the anger in his eyes was obvious.

After all, no one in this life would dare to bring this kind of dish to him.

At this time, fourth master also stood up, ready to kneel down together.

In the end, I heard the first Nian, and said casually: "Isn't it normal to have insects in the vegetables? I heard that many ordinary people can't afford insecticides, and they grow vegetables directly. There are insect eyes on the leaves. Even if the food is on the table, it is inevitable that there will be a few bugs."

Ruoyin's eyes widened and he cast a surprised look at Nian.

She couldn't believe that such nice words came from Nian's mouth.

Nian winked at her and smiled, as if the two of them had a good relationship.

In fact, Ruoyin wanted to say that just now.

But if it is one or two, it can be justified.

But there were seven or eight small bugs in that plate.

No matter how healthy the vegetables are, those who pick, wash, and stir-fry the vegetables must see clearly.

Therefore, as the person involved, she can only make a good impression if she takes responsibility.

If you just rely on one mouth to shirk responsibility, it will be offensive.

But from another angle, when someone else spoke for her, it sounded different.

She also saw it just now, fourth master's words came to her lips, and Nian Shi took a step ahead.

That's right, such words from Nian's mouth are more convincing than Fourth Master's.

Because if the fourth master protected her, it would be unfilial.

The main room served the old father a plate of green vegetables full of vegetable worms. As a son, he still favors women. In this feudal society, it is really unfilial.

Therefore, for fourth master, he was in a dilemma.

Nian's is different, she is the side Fujin in the backyard, and she has only entered the mansion not long ago.

Even if they helped Ruoyin, they wouldn't appear to be in the same group.

On the contrary, it makes people feel that the backyard is harmonious.

However, in addition to the incomprehensible Nian's name in the backyard, there is also the kind of one who wishes for Ruoyin to be bad.

Mrs. Li said relentlessly: "Sister Nian really doesn't understand, or is she pretending not to understand? I just saw it all. It's not a problem of one worm, but several worms. The slaves under Fujin are also really, Huang Ama finally came to our house, so I don't know how to look carefully."

"That's right, the servants in the Xinghuachun Pavilion have lost their eyesight too." Niu Gulu agreed.

Ruoyin sneered in his heart, heh, haven't these two always gotten along.

When did it get so good?

That's right, they couldn't see her well, so naturally they wanted to make things worse.

"Fu Jin, I remember you said a few days ago that the servants in the house were asked to put less arsenic in the vegetable fields. Is it because of the low dose that the vegetable insects flooded?" Fourth Master said casually.

There are no professional pesticides here, and arsenic mixed with other traditional Chinese medicines is a good medicine for killing insects.

At this moment, Ruoyin couldn't understand what fourth master was saying.

When did she ask the minion to reduce the dose of arsenic?
